This is a deeply moving book. The first half sets itself up as comedy, but as you enter the back leg, Pnin, the oddball clown, has his interiority probed. The culmination of Pnin's story is a celebration of him, cut short by his downfall, and then an epilogue that staves off any closure. Nabokov's writing is sublime, and reading this made me excited to explore more of his prose.
